Amacrine Cell
Interneurons found in the retina, involved in modulating the output of bipolar cells and influencing the signaling between retinal neurons, contributing to visual processing.
Key Functions:
- Modulates signals between bipolar cells and retinal ganglion cells.
- Contributes to contrast enhancement and motion detection.
- Does not have an axon, communicating via dendrites.
Interacting Systems & Components:
- Retina (located in)
- Bipolar Cell (modulates)
- Retinal Ganglion Cell (influences)
- Neuron (type of)
- Nervous System (part of visual system)
